 No, come right now"

 "Come in.'

 "FAre you sure?' she asked, lifting her beautiful though somewhat red dened eyes and giving him look of thrilling tenderness.

 "'Please don't cry Howell pleaded. 1t makes me uncomfortable to see you weep. By the way, as we have become pretty we'll acquainted, in fact as we have been closely associated, permit me to walk home with you.'

 "Why?"
 "Oh, we'll, in reactionary way, my party would lose the foreign vote."
 'Yes, but, in catering too plainly to the foreign vote, might you not lose the native American vote?"
 ''Native American vote! Why, my dear sir, we care nothing for such feeble support. But tell me, is there a native American vote?"

 Friend-"Ah, l see. thought that something extraordinary must have been the cause, and am glad for your sake that you cannot be charged with willful negligence"
 Some of the leading publishers have announced that they will not issue any more volumes of poetry. They declare that there is no sale for latter day verses. This proves that civiliza- tion has reached high state. It proves that the people are be- coming SO we'll cultivated that, being able to express themselves in prose, they demand a similar aptitude of expression. Barbarians have writ ten fine poetry, but barbarians have never written fine prose. The old poet was a sort of word musician. The new prose writer must be a person of not only close examination, but of ex- perience and good sense. The old poets lack of grammar was excused !; the new prose writer's inaccuracies of construction are condemned. Hume, the historian, in commenting upon the literary achievements of certain reign, says: "And if such was the condition of it's poetry, what must have been the condition of it's prose. since we find that to write fine prose requires more skill and thought" {" These may not be, in faultless precis- ion, the words employed by Hume, but they serve to cast shadow of his meaning.
